Overseas students have been looking to Canadian high schools to provide them with an international study experience. According to Citizenship and Immigration department Canada, 25 percent of all student visa holders needed for stays of three months or over and were studying in a secondary school in 2004. The secondary sector, therefore, is an important one for the Canadian international education industry and schools are increasingly diversifying their product range to cater for students not able to commit to study periods of a year or more. The types of courses vary in terms of their academic and language content, and in some cases it appears to resemble general language and activity courses, more traditionally offered in private language schools. Richmond school in Columbia offers semester programmes for five months as well as short-term programmes for groups. "Mike Kliman - District Administrator of International programmes", says that these programmes provide a way to introduce the district and the schools to potential long-term students. |
